Ask:
I have always thought "Today is hot" or "Today is sunny" is grammatically wrong. They are supposed to be "It is hot today" and "It is sunny today" respectively. Am I right or wrong ? Please help me.

Answer:
"Today is hot" or "Today is sunny" are not grammatically wrong. It's just that people don't express it that way. We say:
"(Boy,) it's hot today."
"It's (nice and) sunny today."

Answer:
"Today is hot", "Today is sunny" etc. are not grammatically wrong, but they are less common and less conversational than "It's hot/sunny/etc. today".
